UNITED STATES ANTIMONY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2023
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
United States Antimony Corporation and its subsidiaries in the U.S. and Mexico (“USAC”, the “Company”, “Our”, or “we”) sell processed antimony, zeolite, and precious metals products in the U.S. and abroad. The Company processes antimony ore in the U.S. and Mexico primarily into antimony oxide and antimony metal at its facilities in Montana and Mexico. Our antimony oxide is used to form a flame-retardant system for plastics, rubber, fiberglass, textile goods, paints, coatings and paper, as a color fastener in paint, and as a phosphorescent agent in fluorescent light bulbs. Our antimony metal is used in bearings, storage batteries, and ordnance. In its operations in Idaho, the Company mines and processes zeolite, a group of industrial minerals used in soil amendment and fertilizer, water filtration, sewage treatment, nuclear waste and other environmental cleanup, odor control, gas separation, animal nutrition, and other miscellaneous applications.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of September 30, 2023, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2023.
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period amounts to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016 - 13, “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ”, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued updates to the standard to provide additional clarification on specific topics. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023 and determined that it had no material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES
Inventories at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted primarily of finished antimony metal and oxide products, antimony ore and concentrates, and finished zeolite products. Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or estimated net realizable value. Finished antimony metal and oxide products and finished zeolite products costs include raw materials, direct labor, processing facility overhead costs and freight.

$ 1,375,068
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventories were valued at cost, except for inventory related to Mexican operations, which was valued at net realizable value because the production costs of the Mexican inventory were greater than the amount the Company expected to receive on the sale of antimony contained in inventory. The adjustment to inventory for net realizable value was $ 883,390 and $ 409,919 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The adjustment to inventory for net realizable value was $ 427,152 and $ 273,083 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Antimony oxide and metal inventory consisted of finished product held at the Company’s plants in Montana and Mexico. Antimony ore and concentrates were held primarily at sites in Mexico. The Company’s zeolite inventory consisted of saleable zeolite material at the Company’s plant in Idaho.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company follows U.S. GAAP guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies and evaluates such accruals and contingencies for each reporting period. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a loss could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Historically, from time to time, the Company is assessed fines and penalties by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). Using appropriate regulatory channels, management may contest these proposed assessments. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no accrued liabilities relating to such assessments. Bear River Zeolite Company (“BRZ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received twelve significant and substantial citations from MSHA in September and October of 2023. BRZ rectified the matters noted in eight of the twelve citations and received termination dates for these eight citations from MSHA. The Company is working to rectify the four remaining citations; however, the outcome of these citations as well as the impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position is unknown.
The Company pays various royalties that, on a combined basis, generally vary around 8 % to 13 % of zeolite products sold. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued royalties payable of $ 107,937 and $ 435,075 , respectively. The decrease in royalties payable in 2023 was primarily due to the Company finalizing its estimates and paying a royalty obligation in 2023 that had been accumulating since 2016.

September 30, 2023
On August 8, 2022, the Company executed a preliminary Purchase Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with SB Wadley SA de CV (“Wadley”) whereby the Company leases, with an option to acquire, mining claims located in Mexico known as the Wadley Property. Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Wadley eight monthly installments of $10,000 plus VAT for the right to mine and conduct geological and resource studies as due diligence and exploration on the Wadley Property. At the end of such eight-month period, should the Company choose to exercise its option to acquire following due diligence and assessment of geological and resource studies, the Company agreed to pay Wadley $2,230,000 and seven annual payments of $1,160,000. The due diligence period under the Agreement was extended to October 15, 2023 . After evaluation in October 2023 of Wadley Property information and the Agreement, the Company officially notified Wadley on October 12, 2023 that it did not intend to acquire the Wadley Property and terminated this Agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects to incur a loss on disposal of assets of approximately $ 130,000 related to the termination of this Agreement.
Mexican Tax Assessment
In 2015, the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) initiated an audit of the USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In October 2016, as a result of its audit, SAT assessed the Company $13.8 million pesos, which was approximately $666,400 in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as of December 31, 2016. SAT’s assessment was based on the disallowance of specific costs that the Company deducted on the 2013 USAMSA income tax return. The assessment was settled in 2018 with no assessment due from the Company.
In early 2019, the Company was notified that SAT re-opened its assessment of USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return and, in November 2019, SAT assessed the Company $16.3 million pesos, which was approximately $795,000 USD as of December 31, 2021.
Management reviewed the 2019 assessment notice from SAT and, similar to the earlier assessment, believes the findings have no merit. An appeal was filed by the Company in November 2019 suspending SAT from taking immediate action regarding the assessment. The Company posted a guarantee of the amount in March 2020 as is required under the appeal process. In August 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against SAT for resolution of the process and, in December 2020, filed closing arguments. In 2022, the Mexican court ruled against the Company in the above matter. The Company subsequently appealed the ruling, which is still pending.
As of September 30, 2023, the updated SAT assessment was approximately $22 million pesos, which was approximately $1,262,000 USD, comprising $343,000 of unpaid income taxes and $919,000 of interest and penalties . Management, along with its legal counsel, assessed the possible outcomes for this tax audit and believes, based on discussions with its tax attorneys located in Mexico, that the most likely outcome will be that the Company will be successful in its appeal resulting in no tax due. Management determined that no amount should be accrued at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022 relating to this potential tax liability. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
If the SAT audit is resolved in a manner inconsistent with management expectations, the Company will record changes to tax liabilities and tax expense associated with the assessment. Also, the Company will recognize penalties associated with the assessment in general and administrative expense and interest associated with the assessment will be recorded as interest expense.

NOTE 10 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company is organized and managed with four business segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony operations, Mexican antimony operations, precious metals recovery and United States zeolite operations.
The Puerto Blanco mill and the Madero smelter at the Company’s Mexico operation bring antimony up to an intermediate or finished stage, which may be sold directly to customers in the United States or shipped to the United States operation for finishing at the Company’s plant near Thompson Falls, Montana. The Puerto Blanco mill in Mexico is the site of our crushing and flotation plant, and a cyanide leach plant which recovers precious metals after the ore goes through the crushing and flotation cycles. A precious metals recovery plant is operated in conjunction with the antimony processing plant at Thompson Falls, Montana, where a 99% precious metals mix is produced. The zeolite operation produces zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all sales of products from the United States antimony and zeolite operations are to customers in the United States. Sales to foreign customers are primarily to customers in Canada.
